As a recently retired high school principal, there are many students in high school who are 18 or even 19 years old. With a lowered drinking age, these students would legally be able to purchase alcohol-based drinks and share them with friends who are from 15 to 17 years of age attending their school or living in their neighborhoods. Since research has demonstrated the adverse effects of alcohol on the development of adolescent brains, it would be irresponsible for the public to favor a lowered drinking age, which will clearly be detrimental to high school age students. - georgedp
